Morning ALL and thanks for all the updates, captures and videos.
Korky: Noticed you posting this morning (I was on my tablet watching but couldn't post) and felt for you as you had just missed the bob getting its first feed by a few minutes!!
Scylla: Thanks for the hatching video and also of the first feed and Geemeff for vids and lovely stills
Mary: Great to see you posting. I thought you were off touring the nests so quite a shock to see you've been laid up and of all things - shingles!! Although I've not had them, I am told is awful. Wishing you a speedy and full recovery . Take care x
I expect Rutland will advise later about the hatch. Interesting to see the official hatching time!
Maya is looking particularly lovely this morning
07:16 Maya took a break and nice clear view of the bob
